Bukayo Saka was mocked by fans for limping again during a big match after dropping a ‘stinker’ during Arsenal’s 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa.

The England winger played the full 90 minutes in Arsenal’s excruciating defeat at the Emirates which dealt a major blow to their title chances, with Manchester City taking the lead after Liverpool also lost at home to Crystal Palace.

The Gunners missed the chance to go top of the table as Unai Emery’s men struck late to seal a shock victory – with Leon Bailey and Ollie Watkins scoring in the final ten minutes of the match.

Saka has had a sensational season for the Gunners, scoring 18 goals in a season that saw them go all the way in the Premier League, but rival supporters couldn’t help but mock him afterwards having seen him disappear against Villa – in what was a crucial match.

Fans noticed Saka sometimes limping onto the pitch when Arsenal are losing this season – and saw him hobbling onto the pitch in stoppage time as Mikel Arteta’s men were about to be condemned to their fifth defeat of the season.

Despite his understated performance, Saka was not the main target of Arsenal fans’ fury as Oleksandr Zinchenko came under heavy criticism.

Supporters said they had “outgrown” the Ukrainian left-back while others claimed his performance was a “tough watch”.

Another said: “If he starts a game again for Arsenal with a full squad… This is nonsense of the highest order.” Give the ball. With the ball, it gives us nothing. Defended terribly all season.

Arsenal are second after the shock result, just two points behind leaders City with six matches remaining, but they have tough games ahead against Chelsea, Tottenham and Man United.

Arteta, speaking after the match, challenged his players to bounce back immediately and right the wrongs of their performance against Villa in beating Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

The Gunners' title hopes were dealt a blow on Sunday following their defeat to Aston Villa at the Emirates.

“We have the best opportunity to react against Bayern Munich on Wednesday. The team has to show that. If you want to win, you have to overcome these situations,” said Arteta, who said captain Martin Odegaard was replaced due to from a “leg” injury.

“With the games we had, it was going to happen. Now it’s about how we react. It’s in our control.

“We knew this moment could come, it is time to react and believe in it. We must stand up, show leadership and character – we have no other choice. Now is a big test for us.

“If a result (makes us lose our belief), then we are not strong enough. We (Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City) all have to play every three days, it’s crazy.

“We just have to prepare, go to Munich with great belief. It’s a great opportunity to go to the semi-final of the Champions League so it couldn’t come at a better time.”
